Dear English, Yes you can omit it. Baking powder makes the peas soft and crispy and also retains its green colour. You can also add 1/4 teaspoon of baking soda while soaking the peas to absorb excess gas as well. Regards Anita.

Hi Aunty, can you make this with the frozen peas? Or will it splatter too much? How can I make the spicy one like in the packet - just add some chili powder? Thank you for your videos, I have been watching your channel for so many years since my mom passed away and no nani to teach me to cook. I learned how to make the best chop suey from your video. Much love from Canada

Dear Naz, My pleasure. Greeting to you from Australia .Thank you for watching my videos. I am so pleased to hear that my videos are helping you. Sorry to hear about your Mum and Nani. Defrost the peas first in some water, drain it and let it dry in a tea towel for 15 minutes before frying or you can roast it in the oven or air fryer. To make it spicy, add chilli powder and some crushed garlic while still hot. To roast it in the oven, add 1 tbsp of oil to 2 cups of peas, 1 tsp of salt. 1 tsp of chilli powder and 1/2 tsp of garlic powder and roast it at 180 degrees for 15 - 20 minutes shaking the pan to stop it from burning or until crispy. Hope this is helpful. Regards Anita.

Dear Chad, You are welcome. It should remain crispy for a week or may be little bit longer. Mine is always eaten in a few days. Make sure you seal it properly after taking the peas out. Regards Anita.
